Successful first meeting of the New Springfield Ward Forum

Residents and Councillors discussed how to improve our ward at the last nights first meeting of the Springfield Ward Forum.

There was a lot of interest in developing a community plan for the development of the dis-used toilets on Upper Clapton Road . It is anticipated that the forum will meet again in September to discuss this matter with Planners.
